Hello everyone, I often have damaged text files (due to a lovely storage system). The files are of different formats, although I can usually assume they contain spaces. The files are structured as lines.
Every once in a while, the lovely destruction (ahm....storage) system inserts binary garbage to the file. I wish to fix the files by removing the cancer without leaving any leftovers. That is, I want to lose partial lines. I tried using grep with all sorts of keys, but it did not do the trick. strings catches too little - it leaves partial lines. Is there an elegant way to do the trick line-wise? Thanks Orna -- Orna Agmon Ben-Yehuda. http://ladypine.org
